The North Gate
Welcome to Solstice Week on the Art/Life Trail!

Welcome to the art/life trail ride! Sometimes I think we’re alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we’re not. In either case the idea is quite staggering. Arthur C. Clarke Last week we considered the power of being horse rather than riding horse. That’s a big shift in consciousness that’s worth investigating. Learn a bit […]
